Consulting
I work with leadership teams to:
-
Clarify organizational vision and identity
-
Identify goals and motivations that drive the organization and hold it back
-
Identify political, material and personal obstacles to organizational excellence
-
Assess the organization's current performance and future prospects
-
Pinpoint where vision, strategy and culture require revision and realignment.
-
Define gaps in current capacity and develop plans to fill them
-
Make tough decisions about priorities and which goals and activities to set aside or postpone
-
Capitalize on strengths of key staff and stakeholders and overcome obstacles to optimal team performance, such as personality clashes, insufficiently defined roles and mistrust.
This might include:
-
Rewriting your mission
-
Preparing a strategic plan and benchmarks for success

Program evaluation and staff performance assessment (e.g., client surveys; staff 360s)
-
Talent recruitment, onboarding and development
-
Succession planning
-
Design of trust-building initiatives and proofs of concept
-
Keynote lectures and workshops on leadership identity and organizational culture.
Transition Management
The Covid-19 pandemic and its aftermath are leading many companies, non-profits, and educational institutions to rethink their organizational structures and strategic priorities.
If financial upheavals, market uncertainties, and changing client needs require to you to sharpen your focus, re-allocate budgets or consider mergers between departments or with other organizations, I will work with you to pivot organizational firepower creatively, exploit opportunities for innovation, and avoid default "damage limitation" thinking.
